Time slip novels

I absolutely love reading time slip novels. I've read all of Nicola Cornick's series and I've just finished the second instalment in Kelley Armstrong's Stitch in time series. Can anyone please recommend any more novels in the same genre? I've googled it and searched everywhere but there seems to be very few authors writing this type of novel.

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.

Eranzer · 27/09/2022 23:57

A Discovery of Witches maybe? Agree with Outlander.

All my favourite time slip books are technically children's books

A Traveller in Time

Charlotte Sometimes
Moondial

Children's time slip novels, I loved timeslip novels as a child, thishas some good suggestions.

I loved Natasha Pulley’s The Kingdoms: historical adventure time-slip mash up! 😃

Outlander series, first 4/5 are good then it goes downhill.
Kate Atkinson life after life is sort of time slip.

Thanks. I've read and really enjoyed The Midnight Library and Life After Life is one of my all time favourites. I love Tom's Midnight Garden too. Lots of other good ideas too. Thanks everyone.

I'd second this - really enjoyed it!

What the wind knows by Amy Harmon.

not exactly time slip but the ten thousand doors of January is good.

OmaSwims · 28/09/2022 20:28

The First 15 lives of Harry August? Not exactly time slip though

AlwaysMunching · 28/09/2022 20:30

The Chronicles of St Mary's might work for you? Has a time travel/history element.

Also The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, I loved this.

Yucca78 · 28/09/2022 20:33

I loved Stephen King's 11.22.63

Don't let Dr Bairstow hear you calling it time travel!

Yucca78 · 28/09/2022 20:35

Also wrong place, wrong time by Gillian McAllister

AmeliaLila · 28/09/2022 20:37

Yesterdays Sun by Amanda Brooke. Haunting.

LoupsGarous · 28/09/2022 20:37

Connie Willis’s The Doomsday Book — time travel is done by historians as an academic discipline, and an enterprising undergraduate is accidentally sent to the Black Death when a pandemic hits Oxford.

Yucca78 · 28/09/2022 20:37

And not forgetting Kindred by Octavia Butler

AmeliaLila · 28/09/2022 20:39

Yesterday’s Sun

A heart wrenching story for fans of Jodi Picoult, Susan Lewis and Katherine Webb.

How could you ever choose between your own life and the life of your child?

Newly-weds Holly and Tom have just moved into an old manor house in the picturesque English countryside. When Holly discovers a moondial in the overgrown garden and its strange crystal mechanism, little does she suspect that it will change her life forever. For the moondial has a curse.

Each full moon, Holly can see into the future - a future which holds Tom cradling their baby daughter, Libby, and mourning Holly's death in childbirth...

Holly realises the moondial is offering her a desperate choice: give Tom the baby he has always wanted and sacrifice her own life; or save herself and erase the life of the daughter she has fallen in love with.

I loved A Traveller in Time as a child! And Children of Green Knowe (I'm not sure this technically qualifies as a time-slip novel though...)

There's an element of time slip in Larchfield by Polly Clark. It involves W H Auden.
